This course focuses on the anatomical components of the musculoskeletal system and the actions that occur in physical activity with special reference to the field of kinesiology. It is an applied study of human movement, which is intrinsically linked to the biological mechanisms of the body including anatomy, physiology and biomechanics that allow for explanation and improvement in movement and function occurring in daily life. Students interested in this course content will be prepared for future careers in fields such as physical therapy, athletic training, pre-medicine, fitness, and all physical activity-related jobs across the spectrum of kinesiology subdisciplines. Topics courses are 2 or 4 credit, in-depth, thematic courses that may be repeated for credit under a different theme. May be repeated up to two times for a maximum of 12 credits. Prerequisite: BIO 1160 General Biology
